So Where Do We Stand?

[Antiacus]

Haven't checked in since a couple weeks after release. From the reports i was reading i wanted no part.

Aside from bugs i looked at the video's and the tracking, map updates, & TDC looked like some sort of twisted arcade wwiii hybrid.

Right now i play SH3 GWX with OLC GUI as real as i can get it.

Is there anything close to that realism available for SH5 yet? Did patch 2 resolve most of the bugs?

Thanks.

No, there's nothing of the level of GWX after just 3 months and essentially 1 patch from the release of SH5. There's tons of great mods, but the modding is still in it's infancy so if you expect a GWX (or other 5 years of improvement supermod) you still won't find it here.

Patch 1.2 improved things to a playable state, but many bugs (even ones "fixed" in the patch) remain. As should be expected just 3 months from release.

Thanks kylania. I'll give it awhile longer. Hopefully OLC makes a whiz wheel GUI for sh5. It really turns sh3 into a true sim for me.

Reaper7 has released a UI mod which has the RAOBF built into the periscope.

Wow, perfect!

Hmmm. The game is $25 at Newegg. It's not so much the money anyway, but learning a whole new interface. SH3 GWX is so god awful good right now though...

Maybe i should just load it up, patch it, mod it and give it a whirl though

I think for the money, after the patches and mods SH5 is really worth it. I have spent more money on worse games, I know that for sure. Also, it can only get better.
